Throughout October we learned all about recycling. We looked particularly at the steps involved in recycling aluminium and glass. It takes huge amounts of energy and resources to make glass and aluminium and only a fraction of the resources and energy to recycle these materials. It also saves us from sending rubbish to landfill. We also learned that reusing materials is also a great way to help the environment. After a class discussion we realised that a large amount of materials are used to make Halloween costumes, costumes which are rarely reused. As a response to this we decided to make our own Halloween costumes from household materials.
